What are the incidence, risk factors, and clinical effects of cardiac complications in patients undergoing spine surgery?
Perioperative cardiac complications occur in approximately 0.34% of spine surgery patients and are associated with significantly increased mortality, highlighting the need for optimization in high-risk patients.
Bovonratwet et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Spine surgery (n=30,339). Spine surgery was evaluated on Occurrence of cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction during the operation or the 30-day postoperative period (95% CI 0.27 to 0.40). Perioperative cardiac complications occurred in 0.34% of patients undergoing spine surgery, with age ≥80 years, insulin-dependent diabetes, and preoperative anemia as significant risk factors.
